She was constantly teased by her brother and her classmates, and often ran home crying to her mother for comfort. Late in high school, everything changed for her. She filled out her skinny frame, began to work out and finally decided to become a model. Tyra pursued that goal with the determination. Her first modeling job started in Paris when she was 17.
Daphne had been written up and reported several times for having to leave the job to get to her kids for whatever reasons. Being recognized for the positive was something she lacked in her 17 years of licensure. Along with negative recognition and false accusations, Daphne began to feel unappreciated for her day to day work. To top all the disadvantages, Daphne lost the lead nursing position due to having to be out of work several times due to breast cancer
She also consumes one to two drinks of brandy per week. She has owned a gas station for the past 12 years. She is single and not sexually active. Data Obtained From Nursing Assessment System review reveals a thin woman with complaints of increasing fatigue and weakness for the past 3 to 4 months, increased frequency of bowel movements—now “watery”—hyperactive bowel sounds, 9-pound weight loss over the past six weeks with a noticeable increase in appetite—“I’ve lost weight without even trying”—and slight hand tremor. Ms. Kissinger complains “my eyes look like they are bulging.” .
The findings of the experiment were that women in the diet group would eat less but then overcompensate and binge on something unhealthy till full, therefore actually consuming the most food over the 7 week period.

Jojo was taken from her mother 3 months ago because of neglect, though this client’s problems are different from any of the others whom you have worked with before. Child and family services became involved with Anna and Jojo because of a report made by Jojo’s Head Start teacher that Anna was not feeding Jojo appropriately. In fact, the investigators discovered that Anna thought Jojo was too fat and only fed her water and bananas to help her lose weight. She apparently fed Jojo like this for three weeks before the teacher noticed a change in Jojo during school time. When the teacher noticed that Jojo was rapidly losing weight, she contacted Anna, who told the teacher to mind her own business.
Margie Hodgin, a nurse in Kernersville, N.C., had struggled to lose weight since she was a teenager. But it wasn’t until she turned 40 that she finally took off the extra pounds, and then some. “It was a real sense of empowerment, that I can do this all on my own and no one is helping me, and I’m achieving what I want and fitting into my clothes better,” she said of her initial delight in shedding the excess weight. But what started as discipline transformed into disorder. Ms. Hodgin would not eat more than 200 calories a meal, and if she did, she made herself vomit.

Three affects that Jo Parker endured during these hard times were neglected heath issues, malnutrition, and no luxuries. First of all, they had neglected heath issues that most would consider minor, such as, red and cracked hands from not having any hand lotion. She once saved her money for two months to purchase Vaseline for her dry hands.
She is now ready to look for another partner but she is scared as her previous partner of 6 years was very controlling and almost seemed to want her to stay overweight. She has struggled with her weight since she was 12 or 13 and her parents badgered her about being unattractive and eating too much. She has tried many diets but always seems to put the weight back on again after a while. She is going on an all girls’ holiday in 3 months and hopes to have lost weight by then. For hypnosis to be an effective weight loss tool the client will need to be prepared to alter their lifestyle and eating habits with the assistance of the therapist who will enable them to understand the workings of their detrimental eating patterns and ultimately change them.

HE called her fat and she froze. He recalls sitting in the same position and staring through her window for well over 30 minutes and she was numb. Her husband of two years and partner of six, a man that promised to love her no matter her size, in a very judgy tone called her out of her name for a flaw she said he knew she struggled with managing. But Angella says wasn’t angry at him, having endured years of stereotypical adjectives being used to define her. “The truth is I was 5ft 5 inches at 288 pounds and I struggled with managing my weight all my life.
